Cyanotic Heart Disease

Abstract: Congenital heart disease (CHD) are structural abnormalities of the heart or intrathoracic great vessels occurring during fetal development. CHD is the most common type of birth defect and the leading cause of death in children with congenital malformations. CHD can be subdivided in non-cyanotic CHD and cyanotic CHD which is also called critical congenital heart disease (CCHD). CCHD can be further classified into 3 different type of lesions: right heart obstructive lesions, left heart obstructive lesions, and mixing lesions.

A Mucinous Cystic Neoplasm Originating from the Gallbladder: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract: Introduction Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the gallbladder are extremely rare, benign, unilocular or multilocular cystic tumors that contain septations. Mucinous cystadenoma, a subtype of mucinous cystic neoplasm, is defined as epithelial cystic proliferations composed of cells that contain intracytoplasmic mucin. Case presentation A 70-year-old African American woman was admitted to the hospital because of progressive lower back pain and inability to walk. She was scheduled for a kyphoplasty. However, the day before surgery, she reported severe abdominal pain radiating to her right shoulder. On further workup, results of abdominal ultrasonography revealed a cystic mass in the lumen of the gallbladder. The kyphoplasty was postponed and a laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. Pathologic evaluation of the gallbladder revealed a multiloculated mucinous cystic neoplasm. Discussion Mucinous cystadenoma of the gallbladder account for 0.02% of the total number of cases in the hepatobiliary system. They are more frequently seen in middle-age women with a mean age at presentation of 45 years. Symptoms vary depending on the location of the tumor, but it typically presents as acute or chronic right upper quadrant pain, epigastric pain, and nausea and vomiting. The multilocular form is more common than unilocular. The cystic lesions can be filled with serous, hemorrhagic, mucinous, or mixed fluids. Clinicians should be suspicious of mucinous cystadenoma of the gallbladder when common gallbladder disease is excluded because malignant features can be present in the lesion.
